Harry Potter // Dim Sum Dollies

ytd i went to watch harry potter with veron.

honestly i was rather disappointed. expected more from it, looking from the very nice trailer. the movie's different from the book. well, admittedly the book was too long winded. but there were too many changes, even if it was to conveniently shorten the film.

if you read the book, you would be disappointed with the numerous changes. if you didn't read the book, you might not understand the story as sometimes the linkage from one scene to the next was quite bad.

the acting was alright lar. as usual, i'm dissatisfied with dumbledore's acting. he's not as calm and composed as he's supposed to be. he's too... human. too vulnerable to emotions and physical threats. umbridge was pretty good. i like luna and tonks. and oooh, i'm in love with bellatrix. think her acting's fantastic. i wish i can act in a similar role.. as a mad, twisted woman who causes fear to arise in people. woohooo!

hermione and ron had very little screen time. oh well. no quidditch. and a less exciting version of the weasley brothers' exit from hogwarts. and i think mrs fig (was that her name, cant rmb. the squib) should have been all jumpy and frightened, instead of how she was portrayed in the show.

OH WELL. but i would have watched the show no matter what. and i love the view of london as they flew across the waters.


ok, here are two pictures of my beloved Bellatrix Lestrange, played by Helena Bonham Carter. i just love her. fantastic acting as always.

went to watch Dim Sum Dollies at night with my bro.

gosh, it's a very very good show! very funny, and very nice songs. didn't expect it to be that good. pity that i don't understand hokkien, cantonese, malay. an incentive to be multilingual!

saw my SNGS teachers! ms cheleen chua, mr geraint wong, ms jeya. apparently ms heng was there. gosh! oh and the dim sum dollies also took a dig on the CHIJ girls. quite amused.


presenting to you.... THE DIM SUM DOLLIES!!! *does a little dance*
